New Books

The next two books that are being sent to me will hopefully be more interesting than the first.  I've already read some stuff from the authors and contributors for The Justice Project so that read should be good.  It's the kind of book where each chapter stands by itself and you don't necessarily have to read it in order.  So because of that fact, what's most likely to happen is I'll spot read a few chapters and claim I've 'read it'.

And since they are so slow to post new books to choose from, I went ahead and chose another one too (there were only two new choices).  It's titled Through the River.

"Through the River, a new book by Jon and Mindy Hirst (with Dr. Paul Hiebert), encourages us to examine our assumptions about truth and how those assumptions affect our relationship to the world at large. In so doing, the Hirsts offer a new perspective on truth that allows us not only to better understand how we view truth but how we might become better equipped to communicate truth in a combative culture. Their claim is that “our ability to struggle through the concept of truth in today’s world is crucial to determining our success in the Christian life, our relationships and our kingdom work.”

Hopefully this time I'll take more time in writing a detailed review.  My first one was done without me adding much detail as to why I thought it was a poor read, but I'm feeling much more optimistic about these two books.
